A small French registrar based in Paris has been sent a breach notice by ICANN’s compliance team. Mistername appears to be a very small registrar and from what I can gather has less than 100 names on its accreditation (if it has more then I’m obviously looking in the wrong place!).

Berlin The Latest New TLD Battleground?
If you’ve been following the newTLD process within ICANN over the last year or so you will have probably been aware of how slow and tortuous development has been.

The Logistics of an ICANN Meeting – Paris 2008
Between 1200 and 1500 people attend each ICANN meeting. A few months ago I had a look over the documents provided to potential hosts to get some idea of the requirements and it was quite scary on some levels. The organisers of next year’s Paris meeting have been sharing some of the details (in French),… Continue reading The Logistics of an ICANN Meeting – Paris 2008
